Video: Letterman’s Top 10 George W. Bush moments

From the White House Correspondents Dinner. I’d seen most but not all of them before. The immigration clip really captures his concentration on the issue. And number two really should have been number one.

Ol’ W, You have to give him credit, He’s at least a real person….
but until he barfs on a head of state, sleeps through a cabinet meeting, falls off an airplane ladder, or flips an intern in the back room, he no worse than the rest.

I watched the entire thing on CSPAN. (Don’t I have an exciting life?) Did anyone else see the Rich Little act? What a disaster.
When you can’t make a room full of drunks laugh, you know your act is bad.

While I understand that tradition at this event is to poke fun at the President, and that the current belief of Americans is that it’s our [i]duty[/i] to constantly make fun of his gaffes, it would be refreshing to see an honest “Top Ten Bush Moments”.

That might include the “We hear you” speech, the first pitch at the NY ballgame shortly after 9/11, hugging that kid who lost a parent there, and I’m sure a host of other possibilities that might come from people with better memories than mine.

Yes, BD, I watched the whole thing too. It could have been named “L’affaire Lame”. Everything about the entire event was lame. They can scrap it and no one would miss it. It used to be a ‘day of truce’ – now they can’t even have a ‘moment of truce’ any more and they’re just there smirking, while being utterly bored.

Little was the lamest I’ve ever seen him. These farts, in all high places should just gracefully retire a bit earlier. Larry King looks like the Reaper talking. Reid looks like the Reaper trying to think. Senator Byrd looks like the Reaper Walking. Back to the event – Helen Thomas seemed to be the real Reaper. Disgusting all of it.

I would much rather support a man that doesn’t know his right hand from his left, then a man or party that spends all of its time trying to convince the public that your right hand is, in fact your left.

You know, looking at this it hit me: As much as I like most of what our President stands for, he’s… uh… pretty… goofy? Yeah, goofy is a good description. I guess I just never saw it because it was always something the liberals exploited to suit their “He’s an idiot” argument. You know what I mean.

Oh, and uh, the #1 clip should have been the #11. It wasn’t even smirk funny. I had to squint my eyes and hit rewind about 4 times before I even got a hint as to what it might be. He spit. So what?

I’m going to the bathroom to hawk a loogie right now just because I can. And I won’t laugh.
